[RELEASE] DVDProfiler importer script - import the movie database from DVD Profiler

hello,

first I want to say that the dvdprofiler script is awesome. Thanks a lot BigBellyBilly!

I think I found a bug in the new version 1.6:
I use DVDProfiler v3 and xbmc (self compiled build from march 2008) in combination with the dvdprofiler script v1.6 in local mode.
I was wondering, because the additonal movie information isn't displayed any more (after the description only "N/ AN /AN /AN Video: N/ AN/ AN/ AN ...").
I searched the bug and figured out, that in case of a german "umlaut" (ä, ö, ü) or of a german "scharfes s" (ß) in the movie description, the additional movie information is not displayed.
I come from Germany and in almost every movie description there are those characters. In v1.5 everything worked great.

You can simply reproduce the bug by adding one of those characters to the movie description. It would be great if you could fix this

I look into it, thanks for letting me know.

please send me a sample of your v3 collection.xml, that has the offending characters, so I can try and make a fix .


thanks
BBB

Hello,

I have a problem with dvdprofiler xbmc 1.6.

With dvd profiler 3 I created collection.xml. I have 655 dvd.

I put it in the folder cache, dvdprofiler 1.6 generate only 578 dvd. where are the others ? when I edit the collection.xml file, the DVD that don't appear on the plugin are OK in the file. No active filter ...

Could you please help me ?

Thanks

sure, mail me a rar/zip of your collection.xml and I'll see what I can find. email address in the readme.txt included with script

In fact, I caused myself the problem !!

I changed a little your script to show <slot> instead of <CollectionNumber>, because I need this parameter to exploit my collection, without that I need to launch window dvdprofiler version to find the dvd. So it seems that this parameters don't have to be duplicate and I have for dvds the same slot number.

If I use your original script I have no problem but slot information is unavailable ..

How to modify your script to show this parameter ?

Another problem is that I'm french so we have a lot of special caracters é î ' .... all this characters are badly showed. For a lot of DVDI have N/AN/AN/A... that appears after overview and video: .

I send you by mail my collection.xml

It would be nice to find a solution for me !

Thanks a lot.

Sorry BBB, but I can't find you email adress to send you my collection.xml.. please pm me.

Is XBMCScripts.com down? I'd really love the opportunity to play with this and see if it'll work for me, but I can't get at the site.

Is there another source I can download it from?

Thanks.

it is down at moment.

get script for a limited period from this link http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlES3...Yk5MWEE9PQ

I love the script, but it would be even better if there was a plugin version so that the DVD's appeared in the library view of xbmc. Is that on the radar by any chance?
